A 53-year-old woman contacted me after developing pain along with a big "bump" on top of the foot, just at the base of the first metatarsal. After taking X-rays, her podiatrist diagnosed her with hallux limitus.
The podiatrist advised taking 500 mg ibuprofen twice a day for 10 days to see if that would reduce the inflammation. He noted that the patient could continue that regimen for an additional 10 days before returning to get a cortisone injection.
